As South Africa hands over the Group of 20 presidency, something more consequential than a routine rotation is taking place. The moment marks the end of an unprecedented cycle: four consecutive presidencies led by major economies of the Global South – Indonesia, India, Brazil and South Africa. For four years, the G20 was steered by countries whose development priorities, demographic structures and geopolitical positions diverged from those of the Group of Seven. In 2026, the gavel will pass to...

2 w. ago As China’s tech rises, companies must rethink their R&D strategy

For years, many foreign companies treated China as a vast consumer base or a low-cost manufacturing hub. Now that paradigm is shifting dramatically. China is not just where multinationals scale production or sell at volume; it is increasingly where they make strategic decisions, engage in serious research and development and innovate in ways that will have a global impact. For example, take Toyota’s R&D centre in Changshu, Jiangsu province. Led by local engineers, it has helped develop electric...

The first shipment of iron ore from Guinea’s US$20 billion Simandou mine will be flagged off with the project’s inauguration on Tuesday, a development that is set to reshape global supply and pricing once commercial exports reach full capacity. Most of the steelmaking resource extracted from Simandou – the world’s largest known undeveloped reserve of high-grade iron ore – is expected to go to China, given the heavy investments by Chinese firms in the project.
